We are supporting Gas Safety Week

As we move into autumn and the temperature starts to drop, it’s that time of year when we start to fire up the heating again. We all want our homes to be cosy and warm, but it is worth taking a moment to consider whether your fuel-burning appliances are safe for use.

Gas Safety Week, which runs 18-24 September, aims to raise awareness of gas safety and highlight the importance of taking care of your gas appliances. Working with Gas Safe Register, the official list of gas safe engineers, we are sharing simple tips and checks that can help you keep yourself, your loved ones and your home safe.

Did you know?

Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. Every year, thousands of people across the UK are diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning. It is a highly poisonous gas. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it, but it can kill quickly with no warning.

What you can do

Follow these simple checks to keep you and your family safe.

Gas appliances should be safety checked once a year and serviced regularly by a Gas Safe registered engineer – make sure you allow our contractors (PH Jones) access to carry out your annual service
